Hi all,
We have received a good offer for our house and would like to go sale agreed. The big difficulty is that the buyer (Dublin/Wicklow based) has to sell their own home which is just now on the market. We have had a history of sale agreeds falling through (2 in last few months) and are therefore reluctant to commit to a contract subject to sale of buyers home. We dont want to fall into a no win situation where our house is committed but the sale is nowhere near closing.
To address the uncertainty of this position can we put a timeline/deadline on the contract after which the 10% deposit is forfeited and our house goes back on the market. Obviously we would generously negotiate the timeline (9/10 months).
Thanks in advance for your replies!
